The Vampire Diaries heads into werewolf territory officially tonight in episode 2.11 “By The Light Of The Moon” and we see that the Lockwood family curse is really that – a curse. Oh yeah, and there is hot cave action between Stefan and Katherine…

“By The Light Of The Moon” (CONTENT RATING TBD) (HDTV)

TYLER FACES HIS FIRST TRANSFORMATION — As the full moon approaches, Caroline (Candice Accola) helps Tyler (Michael Trevino) prepare for the transformation he is powerless to stop.  While Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Katherine (Nina Dobrev) play mind games on one another, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Alaric (Matt Davis) are suspicious when a stranger named Jules (guest star Michaela McManus) shows up in Mystic Falls, searching for her missing friend, Mason.  Elena (Dobrev) is frustrated at the lengths Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) and her friends have gone to in order to keep her safe.  Bonnie (Katerina Graham) and Luca (guest star Bryton James) work together on a spell, while still keeping secrets from one another.  Finally, Elijah (guest star Daniel Gillies) makes an unexpected appearance with an offer that could change everything.  Sara Canning and Zach Roering also star.

The Vampire Diaries is all new tonight, December 9th at 8pm on the CW. Don’t forget – tonight is the end of new episodes until late January!

Finally! The Vampire Diaries is back tonight and brand new. Episode 2.10 “The Sacrifice” and next week’s “By The Light Of The Moon” focus a bit more on the werewolf transformation that Tyler endures.

JEREMY MAKES A DANGEROUS MISTAKE — Elena (Nina Dobrev) decides to take matters into her own hands and offers a tempting incentive to Rose (guest star Lauren Cohan) for her help.  When things take an unexpected turn, however, Rose calls on Damon (Ian Somerhalder) to deal with the plan Elena has set in motion.  Jeremy’s (Steven R. McQueen) reckless attempt to help Bonnie (Katerina Graham) retrieve the moonstone lands him in a life-threatening position and forces Stefan (Paul Wesley) to put himself in danger.  Bonnie and Luka (guest star Bryton James) form a closer connection.  Tyler (Michael Trevino) shows Caroline (Candice Accola) the Lockwood cellar, where she makes a discovery that leaves them both terrified.  Sara Canning, Zach Roerig and Matt Davis also star.

Catch the epi tonight, Thursday December 2nd at 8PM on The CW.

AJ Michalka is headed to the world of competitive cheerleading and Hellcats in 2011. The sister of star Aly Michalka, AJ is getting a recurring role as an employee at a record store which is conveniently located near Lancer University.

The sisters have already collaborated on the show (the theme song is performed by them as 78violet) and it is likely they will perform musically together in a future episode.

In one season on The Vampire Diairies, Candice Accola’s Caroline has gone from human midnight snack for Damon (Ian Somerhalder) to a powerful, slightly neurotic vampire forging a friendship (and possible romance) with werewolf in waiting Tyler Lockwood (Michael Trevino). Accola sees the two forming a sort of alliance that is becoming so strong, all things are possible between the two supernatural characters:

There are hints that Tyler and Caroline’s friendship is something more. Are we going to see them develop a romance?
A lot of great romances can grow from friendship. Of course, there’s definitely a possibility of that. Whether or not that’s going to happen, I don’t know. We’re not that much farther ahead of the audience. So I really don’t know. I know that … Caroline’s the only one that knows what Tyler’s been going through, so that friendship isn’t just going to go away. There’s something there. Whether that turns into a romantic relationship or whether it turns into a really beautiful support system for one another, who knows. The fans will just have to stay tuned and watch.

Romance or friendship-wise, do you think they’re doomed in a way since vampires and werewolves are historically enemies?
It’s definitely got a Romeo and Juliet quality to it, the idea of them becoming romantic. Who knows? That didn’t end very well with Romeo and Juliet. [Laughs] Hopefully, it wouldn’t be that same result for Caroline and Tyler. I don’t know. Really, right now, the most prominent thing going on between both of them is finding a safe place for Tyler to transform. It’s really about his transformation right now. It’s not about anything else, which I think is such a wonderful thing because, for Caroline, any involvement with a member of the opposite sex was immediately sexual throughout the first season. It was immediately like crush-worthy. It wasn’t just like a friendship. I think it’s just a lovely way of showing that she as a character has grown within the second season. It’s more than just about a boy I immediately have to have a crush on. It’s a friendship. It’s something a little bit more substantial.

So what is in store for Caroline & Tyler? The last two shows of 2010 on December 2nd and 9th deal with the werewolves and Tyler’s transformation so there should be lots of scenes together. Should we call them Cyler or Taroline or Fockwood? Either way – I like the Romeo and Juliet aspect of these two characters.

Accola has truly been a wonderful surprise in the second season of TVD – and for a show that is consistently raising the bar every week with twists and shockers – that is saying something.

Check out The Vampire Diaries episode 2.10 “The Sacrifice” on Thursday December 2nd on The CW.

Taylor Momsen is back in tonight’s new Gossip Girl. Episode 4.10 “Gaslit” is the last episode Jenny will be in through January. Last week it was reported that Momsen has been sidelined by the show for a while. There are conflicting reports as to why – was she that much of a pain to the show or was it just because her storyline dictates her absence – but none the less, this is it for Jenny Humphrey through the January episodes at least.

Here is tonight’s official synopsis:

TATE DONOVAN DIRECTS THE EPISODE: Chuck (Ed Westwick), Serena (Blake Lively), Blair (Leighton Meester), Dan (Penn Badgley), Jenny (Taylor Momsen) and Eric (Connor Paolo) find themselves faced with a crisis when a member of one of their families is hospitalized.  Meanwhile, Nate (Chace Crawford) attempts to help his parents, The Captain (guest star Sam Robards) and Anne (guest star Francie Swift), put their complicated past behind them and reconcile.  Katie Cassidy guest stars as Juliet.  Jessica Szohr, Kelly Rutherford and Matthew Settle also star.

The Vampire Diaries has only two new episodes left between now and the holidays so they have to pack the kinda punch that keeps everyone hooked until the January 2011 shows. The big teaser all season long has been will Tyler (Michael Trevino) Lockwood activate the curse (yes!) and when will his transformation to a werewolf be seen. Executive producer Julie Plec explained the upcoming December 2nd episode like this:

“They shot it (the transformation) over two days. Closed set, special effects makeup guys, visual effects guys, Michael Trevino ready to rip out his soul and expose it bare to the world. I think if it’s even half as good as what we want it to be, it’s gonna be amazing.”

This part we already knew, but what she says next is kinda spoilery so don’t go further if you don’t want to know!
